The Courts Service has said it is pushing ahead with plans to move district court sittings from three areas in Munster despite local opposition.

The Courts Service is moving ahead with the transfer of sittings from Youghal in Co Cork to Dungarvan, Co Waterford, meaning a 60km round tip for gardaí and court attendees.
